well yes it is a jeep tornado with a chevy distributor in it at least that is the information given to me by the retired fire cheif at the station that i bought this one at. believe me i am confused at how this works also but they claim that it runs better then the stocker and was easy to put in??? but i am skeptical as to how it was done as they had a drive gear on them but also the shaft was similar to our beloved 230 distributor so i dont know maybe he was wrong but maybe it is to no clue

Could be...also could be an HEI...one of our members, Cutworm, managed to convert a Chevy HEI a while back for the 230...he only did one and I dont know of anyone else who has but its possible...
